Life of Lord Chesterfield; an account of the ancestry, personal character & public services of the fourth Earl of Chesterfield[microform] . ge of attending the lastmoments of his early patroness, the Princess Royal, bywhose bed, as he tells us, I standing when she changedthis life, could not but admire her unconcernedness,constancy of mind, and resolution, which well became thegrandchild of Henry the Fourth of France. The same year, that of the Restoration, saw his ill-assorted marriage with the Lady Elizabeth Butler, eldestdaughter of the Duke of Ormond. It was a marriage ofconvenience, and turned out as these sordid unions occa-sionally do.

As CountHamilton informs us, he married the former unhappy ladywithout loving her, and lived with her for some time onterms of coldness which left her no cause to doubt that shewas indifferent to him.
